An automated and standardized electrocardiogram acquisition system and method

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic standardized electrocardiogram collecting system and method. The system comprises electrodes, a mechanical arm, an examination table, a human body silhouette recognition subsystem, a pressure distribution testing subsystem, a skin treatment testing subsystem, an electronic voice subsystem and a main control computer. The human body silhouette recognition subsystem is used for obtaining human body silhouette information of an examinee and computing position information of four limbs and a chest wall; the pressure distribution testing subsystem is used for collecting pressure distribution information of the weight of the examinee and conducting pressure measurement on the chest wall to compute position information of an anatomic position of the chest wall; the skin treatment testing subsystem is used for executing skin treatment and measuring whether or not the resistance value reaches the standards under constant pressure; the electronic voice subsystem is used for broadcasting explanation or operation instructions. By means of the automatic standardized electrocardiogram collecting system and method, electrocardiogram collecting is more objective and scientific, so that the electrocardiogram recording quality can be improved, and direct contact between a doctor and a patient during electrocardiogram examination is avoided, and accordingly automation and standardization of electrocardiogram collecting are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of medical health and artificial intelligence, in particular to an automatic and standardized electrocardiogram acquisition system and method. Background technique [0002] Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) is a technique that uses an electrocardiogram machine to record the electrical activity changes of the heart every cardiac cycle from the body surface. Electrocardiogram is one of the most commonly used examinations in clinical practice. It is widely used, and its application scope includes but not limited to: 1. Recording the electrical activity of the normal human heart; 2. Helping diagnose arrhythmia; 3. Helping diagnose myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and judging myocardial Infarction site; 4. Diagnosis of cardiac enlargement and hypertrophy; 5. Judging the effect of drugs or electrolytes on the heart; 6. Judging the status of artificial heart pacing. [0003] In the routine ECG examination, the EC...

Problems solved by technology

In addition, manual placement of electrode positions is based on subjective judgments of vision or touch, which will cause the electrode position to deviate from the standard position or position deviation, and electrode position error or position deviation will often cause changes in the shape of the ECG, causing doctors to deviate from the ECG diagnosis and lead to wrong diagnoses in conclusion

[0005] In addition, the inventor paid attention to discovering and summarizing the problems in the long-term clinical practice work, and realized that the current electrocardiogram acquisition method also has the following defects: the subject's muscles are not relaxed during the electrocardiogram acquisition process, which will lead to a decline in the quality of the recorded electrocardiogram waveform Serious cases lead to wrong diagnostic conclusions; poor skin treatment during ECG acquisition can lead to increased resistance between the electrodes and the skin, the quality of the recorded ECG waveform decreases, and severe cases lead to wrong diagnostic conclusions; chest lead fixation is currently mostly Rubber suction ball, air leakage will occur when the suction ball is aging, and the internal pressure will decrease, resulting in a decline in the quality of the recorded ECG waveform, and in severe cases, it will lead to wrong diagnostic conclusions; the electrocardiogram acquisition process requires the participation of medical personnel, which may easily cause conflicts between doctors and patients, and leak the subject privacy

However, this patent document can only relax the muscles of the examinee to a certain extent, but cannot detect whether the examinee has reached a real state of relaxation
